    • About Me

      I am a 25 year old woman from sweden. I live with my fiance and my two chihuahuas. I was diagnosed with Lupus(sle) recently, May 2009. I was diagnosed with alopecia universalis december 2001 The worst thing for me about this disease is that I am always terribly tired and have so much pain. I go through depression and anxiety from time to time.

      From Ramfan October 13

      I feel for you. I can still hear some family members telling me that I was getting fatter and needed to do something before things got out of control. Come to find out that my body had been reacting to my condition and also the fact that the medication too had a negative effect. Going by mirrors has been rather interesting. Hate is a very strong word. I was looking at your photos and I loved each and every one of your shots. Your are a very special person.

      Therese....This is a common thing to happen when you have a stressful experience. Did you get married while at the castle??? How was your birthday?
      Hugs and feel better, sweets

    • Present

      From shadeseeker October 1

      Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a good one & that this year is much better for you. My last dog had Cushings and she used to just pee and drink more water when she was having episodes. Not sure if it effects dogs differently just like the lupus with us but for her, she was okay with it and lived till 12 and died from unrelated tragic accident. So, hopefuly Diva will be fine and just need more babying which I know you probably already give her so she will live a long time with such a loving mommy to take care of her. Good thing she still has you :)
